Christmas Countdown - 2013

xmastidings · Nov 1, 2013

Well, last night for Halloween, it got off to a slow start, then all of a sudden, we were overran with all the Trick-or Treaters. We went thru, and I mean completely cleaned out of, 28 pounds of candy. I had to have a few almond joys for myself but all in all, they wiped me out.

that was fine with me, the last thing I want and or need is a lot of candy in the house, because I know that I will be into it.....:!!

Good Morning MMC and Welcome to November!!!! It's going to be a windy overcast day here but the rain is at least gone. Not Much on my agenda for today. Just sitting around this morning and afternoon. Then Christmas movies and hopefully some trick or treaters tonight. I also need to get everything I baked yesterday packed up for the cake walk at the fall festival tomorrow. Well I'm off to amazon to do a little shopping. I think I'm going to download Duck Dynasty's christmas album. I hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy your day, buddy!!

Well, Good Morning! With the first of November here, I awoke to the wind howling, leaves a flying around and it is now pouring outside. However, it is warm for a change, especially this time of year. so I'll take it....

I saw on the forecast for this weekend, high's in the 70's, so, this could be a nice weekend forthcoming to do some fall things around the house, to get ready for the coming winter!

Well, I hope everyone has a terrific day today and remember, were in November now, the clock is ticking away and Christmas is getting close, and closer and closer.....

Sounds like my day! I was so busy yesterday, I am going to enjoy the day, relax on here, watch Christmas movies, and do some online shopping. EA is at Pre-K, so I am going to enjoy the day with DS.

I sat a huge bowl out and when I came home, not even a 1/4 of it was gone. We have so much left, plus the kids got so much - candy, chips, pretzels, soda, you name it!

WOW! That's a lot of candy!!! Sounds like fun!! I wish you could send me a little of that warm weather - would be nice to be warm cleaning up around the trailer & getting it winterized! Ah well.. 50's isn't so bad!

Speaking of the clocks ticking, do we turn the clocks back this weekend? Someone mentioned that at work the other night.

Your right! I forgot about mentioning that. I saw that as well in the Hagerstown Almanac last night, the clocks are turning back this Sunday.....

Good morning, everyone! How are you all doing? I am well. Just getting caught up on here and relaxing with DS.

How was everyone's Halloween? As I have been reading through the posts, sounds like your evenings went well. I did see briefly about Coach's post. Glad all is okay now! We had a fun night here. The kids had a blast. It rained and it was windy, but that didn't keep the kids spirits down. We also went to the fire station to visit DH at work. The fireman gave the kids some treats. They enjoyed that. They got a fire call, right before we were leaving, and DS just loved seeing them leave in action.

What are your plans for today? I don't have a whole lot planned. EA is at school, so I will be trying to keep DS entertained. I am going to fit something Christmassy into my schedule, since this is when Christmas on TV seems to really start picking up.

Well, I am off to read more of the boards. I will be on throughout the day. I will talk to you guys later on. Hope you all enjoy your day. Prayers for you all. Thinking of you all as well. God Bless and keep smiling!

UGH! I hate that! I told my hubby that this morning & he said the same thing! "We do? UGH!" Lol

Okay, I thought so. Fun. That means I have to work an extra hour Saturday night, BUT...that does mean I make an hour of time and half! There is always a benefit to that! :lol:
